Do the hustle
This is the first time since the ‘catastrophic’ level has been used in the ten years since its introduction. A lot if my family live in the areas under ‘catastrophic’ conditions. They are all ready to evacuate or, if the roads are cut they have to ride it out. Pretty frightening situation for many.

Be safe folks down under!!! Hoping it doesn't get too bad but sounds like you are already there....
Take care!

Id like to echo the sentiments of my friends here; stay safe everyone. Got a super close OZZIE friend in Tokyo visiting OZ now.. the news says the fires are out of control and that the firefighters are having a difficult time. God's speed guys!
I really really hope the fires don't reach the blue mountains. that area is hands down one of the most beautiful places in OZ I hear... I actually always wanted to go there.

Australia could use a few of our typhoons.

I hope the Australian government gives a damn for the firefighters and residents Down Under. It's not like that in the USA right now.

Not with the amount of rain they bring.

Fair enough

brother, hate to disagree but typhoons are not going to blow out the fires. They make them spread.
